The user can create an EHD Piston Lubrication as follows.

•     Body, Point, Body, Point

•    Body: Selects a base body of EHD Piston Lubrication.

•    Point: Selects a point on base body to define initial center position of cylinder.

•    Body: Selects an action body of EHD Piston Lubrication.

•    Point: Selects a point on action body to define initial center position of piston.

•     Body, Point, Direction, Body, Point, Direction

•    Body: Selects a base body of EHD Piston Lubrication.

•    Point: Selects a point on base body to define initial center position of cylinder.

•    Direction: Defines an axial direction of cylinder. This direction is the same as y-axis of base marker.

•    Body: Selects an action body of EHD Piston Lubrication.

•    Point: Selects a point on action body to define initial center position of piston.

•    Direction: Defines an axial direction of piston. This direction is the same as y-axis of action marker.
